X-Wife will be paid off in a few months, so I will have some extra cash burning a hole in the pocket, should I go with the S/C or the Squires Turbo system. Looking for some pros and cons of these two systems

I personally like Superchargers better.
It's easier to upgrade a turbo system though if you want more boost.
They both sound sweet.
I think Superchargers are cheaper.

I think superchargers have a badass whine. I'd go twin screws FTW.

This is a no brainer, The TURBO! I personally with go with brenspeeds Hellion kit, the pros of a turbo that it doesnt loose power through the circumstential drag due to the motor, thus creating boost fast resulting in a quicker street machine, consequently you will have people debate and speak of turbo lag which in some cases is true but when dealing with this application the turbo lag is nonexistant. Superchargers are great but there a dime a dozen everyones got them, turbos do create much more heat inder the hood take that into consideration before making your decision.........if I where to go with a S/C it would most likely be the procharger, its a self contained setup that makes boost at high rpm, thus if your not in the throttle all the time the load on your motor wont be as great unlike a KB that makes full boost at low rpm.

yeah except you obviously never drove a twin screw.
They dont give you any boost until you go wide open throttle - so NO LOAD unleass you have your foot in to it.
Turbo is hard to tune over 15 PSI- runs hot under the hood. Turbos fail quire often too.

Yeah, what zkiller said. Twin Screws don't generate boost until they have load conditions. Otherwise, it would be like driving with an on/off switch

I'll give my opinion later tonight or tomorrow when I pick my STS equiped ride up from the shop.
